An early flagship, brought current

Taleya was launched in 2008, an ambitious 55 metre from a yard still early in its life under the Rossinavi name. She has carried other names in her career and benefited from significant refits, most recently in 2023. That recent work brings her interior and systems up to a modern standard while keeping her generous proportions. She is a rare thing, an established big yacht that presents freshly. The recent work has kept a mature hull thoroughly relevant.

Her scale gives an owner far more usable space than a newer yacht of similar length. Twelve guests spread across six suites with a crew of fourteen to run her. For a buyer she offers volume and presence at a value that a brand new hull cannot match. The 2023 work makes that volume feel contemporary and fresh. The value on offer against a new build of similar size is considerable.

Officina Italiana lines

Officina Italiana Design drew Taleya's exterior, giving her the balanced and confident profile of a traditional big motor yacht. The proportions are generous and the sheer is easy, the marks of a yacht meant to look substantial at anchor. Alessandro Cusumano handled the naval architecture beneath the styling. The result is a face that has carried its authority for well over a decade. Her face has held its authority across a decade and a half afloat.

Her decks are laid out for entertaining on a grand scale. An on-deck jacuzzi, a broad swim platform and a proper beach club give guests room to gather at the water. Numerous dining options across the decks suit a busy social programme. She was built to host, and she still does it with ease. The water-level spaces pull guests down to the sea through the day.

A 55 metre with generous volume, a fresh 2023 interior and a beach club made for long summers.

A Cristiano Gatto refresh

The interior now comes from Cristiano Gatto Design, whose 2023 work injects a decadent modernity while keeping the mood sophisticated. In the main saloon large windows and cream furnishings play against wooden textures, lifted by pops of blue velvet for a fresh palette. The master and VIP cabins sit on the main deck, with further doubles and twins on the accommodation deck below. The layout gives the owner a private study alongside the master. The blue velvet accents give the saloon a note that feels genuinely her own.

The refreshed rooms make the most of the yacht's generous volume and natural light. Gatto's palette feels current without erasing the yacht's established character. An onboard gymnasium and a strong selection of toys round out life aboard. The interior now matches the ambition of the exterior spaces. The refreshed cabins make full use of her considerable volume.

Built for comfort and hosting

Taleya is a displacement yacht designed for stable, comfortable cruising across a full season. At-anchor and underway stabilisers keep her steady whether she is hosting a party or making a passage. Her tri-deck form places the emphasis on space and entertaining. She is a yacht built to be lived on for long stretches with guests aboard. Her measured pace suits owners who prize comfort at sea.

The 2023 refit addressed systems as well as style, which matters on a yacht of her vintage. Refreshed and well maintained, she offers the reassurance owners want from an older hull. Her generous tankage and displacement manners suit relaxed, wide-ranging summers. She is engineered to be a comfortable host first and foremost. A well-kept older hull like hers rewards the care that has gone into her.

Who she suits

Taleya suits an owner who wants maximum space and entertaining capability for the length, backed by a recent refresh. She is ideal for large families or groups who want room to spread out across many decks. The beach club, jacuzzi and dining spaces make her a natural for a sociable Mediterranean season. She rewards an owner who loves to host on the water. Large families find the room to spread out across her many decks.

She also offers the value that a well-kept established yacht can bring against a new build. For a buyer who prizes volume and a fresh interior over the latest hull, she is a strong candidate. The 2023 work removes much of the compromise that comes with an older yacht. Taleya delivers presence and space in equal measure. Presence and space arrive here in equal and generous measure.

Who it is for: An owner who wants generous volume and strong entertaining spaces at 55 metres with a recently refreshed interior.
